Chapter 28: Leave

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The next morning.

It was a stormy night, and the sun rose as usual.

The sun shone through the cross-shaped window onto the wooden bed and climbed onto Heath’s face.

Heath’s eyelids twitched, and then he opened his eyes.

With one hand on the bed board, he stood up and looked to the side.

The side was empty, and there was no sign of the beauty, leaving only a crimson mark on the messy bed and sheets.

Heath was speechless. “This is too straightforward!”

Even though he already knew what this world was like, Heath could not help but sigh in his heart: This world is too crazy!

.

Shaking his head, Heath left the bed and began a new day of activities…

…

A few days later, the tower’s mandatory mission came.

Heath received a mission to the human world, a city called Reiden City, to investigate the recent strange events there. The deadline was half a year.

On the Wizard Continent, the relationship between Wizards and mortals was closer. Basically, every human gathering place had a Wizard organization behind it.

Usually, they were in charge of digging limestone mines for Wizards, planting low-grade materials, providing potential talents, and so on. When they encountered problems that could not be solved, they would also ask the Wizards for help through a raven. This time, Reiden city was like this.

Before leaving, the Apprentices of the same period held a banquet.

“I, Robbins, wish everyone all the best. I wish everyone a perfect completion of the mission and the approval of the Wizards!”

“Apprentice Robbins, you have to put in a good word for me!”

“Haha, this is not difficult, but if I help, how will Miss Lisa thank me?”

“Oh, hateful.”

In the rented banquet hall, a male Apprentice was boasting with an oak cup in his hand, surrounded by men and women.

Everyone was respectful and ingratiating to him.

This was Robbins. Although he looked ordinary, he was very good at reading people’s expressions and flattering them.

Some time ago, he used some unknown method to curry favor with an official Apprentice. This compulsory mission was arranged to collect taxes from several Wizard organizations in the east of the Underdark Treesea.

The Shadow Tower was the most powerful Wizard organization in the Underdark Treesea. Every year, the Wizard organizations had to pay taxes to them.

This was a real lucrative job, and it was easy to get money from it.

With this mission, Robbins suddenly became a star among the Apprentices and was well-liked by everyone.

Standing in the distance, Ender could not help but twitch his mouth. He turned his head and said to Heath with jealousy, “Look at this sycophant. Why is he so arrogant? Those unofficial Apprentices are really stupid. They actually believed his nonsense.”

He sighed. “The power has been taken by the scoundrel!”

Ender’s mission was to collect Shrieking Fruit. Not only did he suffer, but he also did not have many opportunities to perform. The chances of him using this opportunity to stand out were very small.

At this moment, Jessica walked over. “Hey, why are the two of you here? Aren’t you going to have a drink?”

Ender said, “It’s not interesting. But you, aren’t you going to the bootlicking?”

Jessica couldn’t help but laugh. “They don’t like me.”

Ender said, “Tsk! A villain gets his own way. Previously, he was an ugly ghost who couldn’t even touch a woman.”

Jessica shook her head and quickly ended the topic. “Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

After a pause, she turned her head and said to Heath with a slightly envious tone, “Congratulations, Heath. You’ve received an assignment.”

An assignment was also one of the more popular types of assignments. Not only could he become a master, but he could also trade with mortals to earn Magic Stones.

Heath said, “Thank you.”

Ender scratched his head. “It seems like I’m the only one who’s unlucky.”

Jessica rolled her eyes at him. “If you can advance to a low-level Apprentice in less than a year, I think the tower will arrange for what you want.”

Ender did not say anything because he knew that Jessica was telling the truth.

Jessica continued, “We have a table in the small room next door. Jenny, Mary, and Eddie are all here. Do you two want to go?”

Ender, who could not sit still, quickly said, “That’s what I want.”

Heath shook his head. “I won’t go. I’ll leave tomorrow morning. I need to prepare.”

He didn’t want to come to this banquet.

Everyone knew Heath’s character, so they didn’t force him

“Then, good luck. See you in half a year.”

“Good luck.”

Heath didn’t have the habit of dawdling. He went back to pack his luggage, and bought some magic potions, magic tools, and other things that might be useful. He would use them to trade with mortals.

Many worthless things in the Wizarding World were priceless treasures in the mortal world.

The next morning, Heath set off on his journey.

He began his first journey since coming to the Wizarding World…

…

Half a month later, the Underdark Treesea heading towards the exit of the Helan Kingdom.

Whoosh!

An arrow flashed through the forest, and with a poof, it nailed a small thing to the grass.

It was a strange mushroom. It had a red mushroom umbrella and a long mushroom handle. At the bottom of the mushroom, there were two slender and long legs.

It was a Walking Mushroom, a kind of low-level material.

Da!

Footsteps sounded.

A figure descended from the tree trunk. It had black hair and a cross sword at its waist. It held a crossbow in its hand and wore a cloak. It was Heath.

Heath walked forward and picked up the Walking Mushroom on the ground. ‘Extract.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Spirit +0.05]

Seeing the system notification, Heath grinned. “The attributes of the new resources are high.”

Apprentices were not allowed to leave the area of the tower without the permission of the tower. The area around the exit was usually a restricted area. Naturally, Heath had never come here before.

He had never explored the area before, and the resources here were all new species. Every time, he could obtain higher attributes.

Along the way, Heath had obtained a large amount of attributes.

“I wonder what the market price of this thing is like outside? It should be able to fetch a good price, right?”

As he guessed, Heath took out his spatial bag and threw the Walking Mushroom into it.

Every time he refreshed his attributes, he would put away these low-level materials, so that he could find a gathering place for Wizards to sell them as Magic Stones.

After putting away the Magic Stones, Heath continued to move forward. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and looked forward.

In front of him was a very short path.

The trees around the path became sparse, and at the end of the path, bright sunlight could be seen.

Heath was startled. “Am I at the exit?”

His attributes were refreshed so much that he did not want to leave this place at the moment.

Should he not be in a hurry to go out and muddle along for another two days?

“Forget it. If I continue to dawdle and cause the dissatisfaction of the Wizard, then the gains won’t be worth it.”

This was a surveillance area, and it was filled with the spies of the Wizard. He had dawdled for half a month before he arrived here. If he was still unwilling to go out and instead went around looking for materials, then it would not make sense.

“I’ve been harvesting for half a month, and there aren’t many new species left. I’ll collect the rest when I come back.”

With this thought, Heath let go of his reluctance and walked forward.

After crossing the sheep farm path, Heath finally left the Underdark Treesea. The long-lost sunlight once again appeared in his field of vision.

After living in the dark for more than eight months, Heath’s eyes couldn’t adapt to the brightness in front of him. He unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

After a while, Heath’s vision returned.

He was ready to continue forward, but at that moment, a voice came from the front.

A voice said, “Hal, what are you looking at?”

Another voice said, “The treetops over there seemed to have swayed just now.”

Heath quickly hid.

Hiding behind a tree trunk, he looked over and saw two young men dressed as soldiers. One had brown hair, and the other had yellow hair. They were standing at the entrance of the forest and looking into the forest.

The brown-haired man was surprised. “Really? Are your eyes playing tricks on you?”

The yellow-haired man said, “It’s true. I just saw it. Do you think it’s a Wizard? Is there really a Wizard in this forest?”

The brown-haired man said, “You must be crazy!”

The yellow-haired man said, “Then why do you think the Count sent us here?”

The brown-haired man did not comment. “That’s why I said that there’s something wrong with his brain. He actually placed his hopes on those myths and legends. We’ve been here for three months, and we haven’t even seen a bird. Where did a Wizard come from? I think it’s all a bluff!”

Just as he said this, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded in the forest.

Da da da.

The two soldiers tensed up and quickly picked up their weapons. This forest was filled with many ferocious beasts.

Not long after, Heath appeared in their field of vision.

“Human?”

Seeing that it was a human who walked out, the two of them were stunned.

The brown-haired soldier asked, “Hey, who are you? Why are you here?”

Heath did not answer. Instead, he suddenly asked, “Are you people from Reiden Castle?”

When he accepted the mission, the official Apprentice who arranged the mission for him had mentioned to him that Reiden City might arrange people to wait for him at the entrance of the forest to take him to Reiden City.

The two of them were a little suspicious. “You are?”

They looked up and down at Heath who was wearing a cloak. An answer had appeared in their hearts, but they still did not dare to believe it. After all, there was a difference between Heath’s image and those people in the legends.

But soon, the doubts of the two disappeared without a trace.

Heath did not answer, but raised a hand.

Bang!

A ball of flame bloomed in his hand.

The two soldiers widened their eyes.

After two seconds of being stunned…

Bang!

Both of them groveled at the feet of Heath. “Wizard!”
